There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
NNC0519-0130 is a new medicine which may possibly help participants with type 2 diabetes, as it is expected to lower elevated sugar levels in the blood. The medicine may also lower the appetite. This could help reducing overweight which is often present in participants with type 2 diabetes. In this study NNC0519-0130 is given to humans for the first time. This study will be looking into how safe the new medicine NNC0519-0130 is and will measure its concentrations in the blood. Moreover, effects on blood sugar, blood fat and body weight will be tested. There are different study parts with different participants. Healthy participants (men), healthy participants (men) with high body weight and people with diabetes (men and women) take part. Single doses and multiple doses are tested and the medicine is studied as an injection or when given orally (as a tablet). The participants are invited to take part in a part of the study which will look at the effects of weekly injected doses of NNC0519-0130 taken over the course of several weeks. It is planned that participants will be given the study medicine once weekly. The dose will be increased every three weeks, if safety and tolerability allow. Participants will take up to six different dose levels. This means that the period with weekly injections of study medicine will in total last up to 18 weeks. Participants will either get the study medicine NNC0519-0130 or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine that looks like the medicines but without any active medicine). Which medicine participant gets is decided by chance. The injection of study medicine will be done by trained staff into the tissue underneath the skin of belly using a syringe and needle. The total duration of the study could last up to 25 weeks.
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of geniculate artery embolization (GAE) as pain treatment in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
Chest drain is used routinely after lung surgery. Despite preliminary studies demonstrate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative chest drain removal, these are either retrospective or mainly concerning benign disease. Hypothesis: Participants treated without post-operative chest tube after thoracoscopic wedge resection have less pain, reduced opioid usage without increasing postoperative complications than participants treated with standard post-operative chest tube, and could possibly be discharged earlier.
Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) is a systematic feedback method. FIT is based on two simple questionnaires and aims to assess and improve the effectiveness of therapeutic treatment. Treatment outcomes are assessed with the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS), a four-item self-report instrument measuring client functioning in the area of quality of life. Therapeutic alliance is assessed using the four-item Session Rating Scale (SRS). In FIT the feedback from the client is used to continuous adjustment and improvement of therapy. SFI will study the effect of using feedback in social work with floated support in the municipality of Copenhagen. Floating Support is a service that provides housing related support to vulnerable citizens to enable them to maintain their independence in their own home. The project is based on three different types of floating support. The aim of floating support is to improve the citizen's mental, physical and social well-being and thereby makes it more likely that the citizen can live independently at home. The study is a randomized controlled trial in which half of the caseworkers are allocated to be trained in the use of FIT, while the other half serves as a control group and will continue to work as usual. SFI is studying whether FIT can help to improve the impact of the floating support service on the citizen's mental, physical and social well-being and the citizens' likelihood of living in their own homes.
Measurement of cardiorespiratory fitness (here VO2max) is considered a valuable tool for improving the risk prediction of cardiovascular disease and overall patient management. However, the gold standard method for determining VO2max requires both maximal exercise until exhaustion and expensive equipment, why it is not always feasible. A new method for estimating VO2max using a non-exercise prediction model with seismocardiography (SCG) information has been proposed. SCG is recording and interpretations of vibrations originating from the beating heart measured on the chest wall with an accelerometer. SCG has previously been shown to correlate to physiologic events in the cardiac cycle and thus a measure of cardiac performance. VO2max is generally believed to be limited by the rate of oxygen delivery to the muscles, where maximal cardiac output and oxygen carrying capacity of the blood are considered the main limiting factors. The theoretical basis for incorporating SCG to a VO2max prediction model is therefore evident. The previous studies assessed the prediction model in a cross-sectional study design to compare validity of the method. A requirement of further validation of the prediction model with reliability assessment is therefore needed. Biological age is a concept trying to relate the age to the health status rather than the date of birth. Biological age assesses the heterogeneity in functional metabolic status and vulnerability to disease. A Biological age model has previously been designed for health promotion interventions. However, reliability assessment of the model is needed. The purpose of the current study was therefore to: 1. investigate the validity and reliability of a new clinical method for estimation of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) using seismocardiography. 2. investigate the reliability of the biological age model.
Introduction: Problems with oral health (dental and oral diseases) as well as orofacial function (jaw opening, chewing and salivation problems) are significant challenges for many people with Parkinson's disease (PD). These challenges may be painful, disabling, and cause great psychosocial strain and negatively affect quality of life. Furthermore, they may contribute to an unsecure and unhealthy aging, because eating and enjoyment of food is important for both the physical and psychological wellbeing for elderly and chronically ill patients. It seems that patients with PD often find it difficult to maintain adequate oral hygiene and fail to visit the dentist, which in the end contributes to tooth loss, eating problems, poorer nutrition, social challenges and reduced quality of life. To be able to plan interventions on a larger scale more detailed knowledge and mapping is necessary on the extent of various manifestations of PD in the orofacial area, the affect on the patients and their quality of life, and how the disease develops in the orofacial area for the patient group over time. The study will clarify the challenges and problems that patients with PD have due to their disease in terms of dental and oral health and function of mouth and jaws. Such information is important both for single patients with respect to prevention and intervention and for development of community health strategies. Purpose - to investigate specific orofacial, non-motor and motor symptoms and functions as well as the oral microbiome in patients with PD compared to a control group. - to examine the quality of life related to oral health in the abovementioned groups. - to provide information on the orofacial problems in PD for the benefit of single patients with respect to prevention and intervention and for development of community health strategies. Hypotheses: It is expected that - patients with PD have more orofacial functional problems and poorer oral health than a control group without PD, and patients with late PD have more orofacial functional problems and poorer oral health than patients with early PD. - patients with PD have an altered oral microbiome compared to a control group without PD, which possibly may assist in the staging of PD. - patients with PD have poorer oral health related quality of life and home dental care than a control group without PD.
Single-center cohort study of 10-year risk of treatment failure after cleft-lift under tumescent local analgesia for pilonidal sinus disease
The aim of the study is to investigate the role of exercise-induced IL-6 in regulating energy stores and energy metabolism during recovery after an acute exercise bout. To achieve this, 30 men will be randomized to infusion placebo or tocilizumab (IL-6 receptor antibody) combined with a 2-hour exercise bout. Stable isotope tracers will be infused to determine substrate kinetics. Indirect calorimetry will be applied to determine substrate oxidation, and muscle biopsies will be taken to determine substrate uptake and storage.
To describe changes in various diurnal patterns in vital values after surgery. These will be analyzed based on whether the patients have complications or no complications.
Some patients unable to return home from hospital due to physical or mental illness will be discharged to a rehabilitation home to restore strength and rehabilitate. This study attempts to examine if it is possible to continuously monitor the vital signs in patients discharged to a rehabilitation center and whether wearable devices will detect more abnormal vital signs than the rehabilitation facility, as well as complication and readmission rates.
